All I want is more memory bandwidth at lower latency. I've learnt that's the vast majority of felt responsiveness today. I could care less about AI and Neural Engine party tricks, stuff I might use once a day or week.
well, anything is a fireable offense, we're all mostly working at-will anyway. but this seems goofy. Probably a lot of these laws should update.
Just a couple days ago I was walking behind a couple here in NYC, probably in their mid-50s, talking about how they really couldn't justify moving because they'd have to ditch their 2%-ish interest rate for a much higher one. I definitely have friends in the same situation.

Must have been nice to get all that nearly free money when they were passing it out!
Any iPad with a USB-C port supports video capture via UVC. This allows you use devices like the El Gato Cam Link for as a video source.

Also, I cofounded a startup eons ago that makes an iOS specifically to do multi-camera video production and is still trucking along. There is definitely a market for using iPhones and iPads to produce video.
It's because Blockstream is corrupt.
History of Information and Media
Also during industrial revolution there were lot more population centres. Lot of large factories were not near existing cities, but instead communities got build around them. Thus population started to concentrate, but was still more spread out. Now due to globalisation those factories are gone and thus the smaller towns around them have no more single big employer with all the downstream activity.

Issue is not so much moving from rural to urban, but hyper-urbanisation. Where we have not taken early enough action to build enough housing.
At my company, we call this a scream test
I have an iPad Pro 13", and never use it (It's a test machine).

I use the Mini daily.

It's a good thing they made the Pro lighter and thinner. May actually make it more useful.
Agreed but you're missing the point, which is that the individual might have so believed in Kubrik's art that he wanted to make personal sacrifices in pursuit of that. For all we know (and others undoubtedly know more about the story than I do), this man might have actually been in love Kubrik and wanted nothing more than to be close to what he perceived as "greatness."

I'm not even saying whether I think it's morally right or wrong. Only that it's not hard to imagine the scenario.

I expect the pro/max variants will be more interesting. The improvements do look great for consumer devices, though.
It's only well received in scammer and grifter circles though.

All this powerful hardware on a laptop computer is like driving a Ferrari at 40 mph. It is begging for better use. If apple ever releases an ai robot that's going to change everything. Long ways to go, but when it arrives, it will be chatgptx100.
Thermal load has been a major limiting design factor in high end CPU design for two decades (remember Pentium 4?).

Apart from that, I think you might me in a minority if you want a loud, hot iPad with a heavy battery to power all of this (for a short time, because physics). There are plenty of Windows devices that work exactly like that though if that's really what makes you happy. Just don't expect great performance either, because of diminishing returns of using higher power and also because the chips in these devices usually suck.
I am using lazygit, which I find really easy to use once you get the hang of it. Debase may not be as powerful as lazygit, but looks much more easier to get started. Great work.
The minimum standards are a set of regulations called FMVSS, administered and tested by NHTSA. I'm not aware of any parts of FMVSS that apply specifically to power trunks, but the equivalent force standard for windows is 100N.

FMVSS compliance is largely self-certified by manufacturers though. NHTSA does release test reports of what compliance testing they do, but it's pretty limited.
I see the arguments and they resonate with me (e.g. boring tech). However, rails has some pretty unique footguns compared to other frameworks [^1]. I would vastly prefer some other framework that isn't built on a meta-programming language that essentially has a narrow niche (e.g. django).

Further, it's 2024, building on top of a language / framework without proper compile-time tooling (e.g. static types, capacity for an LSP) is a terrible idea.

Ideally, housing should rise near inflation. You most certainly don't want it to go down significantly, or there will be knock-on effects in the larger economy.

To buy a house, you put money down and sign a mortgage. Over 30 years, you use that mortgage to build equity. If prices crash, new homebuyers potentially get wiped out or even end up "upside down," where they can't sell because they owe more money than their house is now worth. This was a prime contributor to the Great Recession.
LPCAMM2 is a modular, repairable, upgradeable memory standard for laptops
I see cancer warnings a lot. My old office had one right as you entered the building. I've seen them on (relatively unprocessed) packaged foods. I've even seen them in grocery stores. Make sure to upgrade your anti cancer genes y'all.
A good infrastructure guy can translate problem solving and troubleshooting techniques from one domain to the other.

We're natural general intelligence, remember that part?
because previous ipad was M2. So 'remember how fast was your previous ipad', well this one is N better.
That's weird - if software gets 2x worse every time hardware gets 2x better, why did my laptop in 2010 last 2 hours on battery while the current one lasts 16 doing much more complex tasks for me?
Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes has prison sentence reduced again
> The 40-year-old Holmes is now scheduled for release on 16 August 2032 from a federal women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas, according to the US Bureau of Prisons website.

> Holmes’s sentence was reduced by more than four months, as her previous release date was set for 29 December 2032.

...

> This is the second time that Holmes has had her sentence shortened. In July, was reduced by two years.
Isn’t AAA vs AA about the funding of the project, and AA vs indie is about the publisher?

I don’t care for scope as part of this because scope is so heavily influenced by the type of game. Eg Call of Duty is the poster child for AAA games and has a pretty unimpressive scope compared to virtually any RPG. Even indie RPGs tend to have a broader scope; CoD has basically nothing outside of combat mechanics.

Then there’s weird questions about what counts as scope too. Tabletop Simulator has a much broader scope than MTG Arena, but Arena is far closer to AAA or AA.
I sold a house at the beginning of 2019, pre-covid, for $365k.

It's zestimate, not that I think it would ever sell for that much, is currently $570k. It's unfathomable to me that someone would pay anywhere near that for my old 1975 1400sq ft 3/2 in Austin.

And my god it hurts to see that and think of all the money that I missed out on.

I'm back to renting a condo, $3100/month for a 2/3 in Denver.
Lots of people make bad choices for themselves and others due to psychological control, manipulation, and/or abuse, such as people who willingly join cults.

I’m not saying that is what happened to Vitali, but I think it’s the open question being alluded to.

It is important to be aware and concerned about cultures or industries that foster cult like personality leaders.
I mean, we'll have to wait for proper benchmarks, but that would make it a regression vs the M3, so, er, unlikely.
Efficient Quantum Algorithm for Subset-Sum Problem (NP in BQP)
I can't judge whether the math is sound.
I don't even know why this makes news anymore. It's so rare for a game studio to last a decade, most don't, and even successful ones will be shut down after launching a huge title in order to keep more profits for the publisher. Publishers are slave masters in the games industry.
I like the comparison between much older hardware with brand new to highlight how far we came.
> It might work if running in Mac mode required a reboot (no on the fly switching between iOS and macOS) and a connected KB+mouse, with the touch part of the screen (aside from Pencil usage) turning inert in Mac mode.

Sounds like strictly worse version of Macbook. Might be useful for occasional work, but I expect people who would use this mode continuously just to switch to Macbook.
I would literally go to a shop doing this, like as often as possible. As a coffee lover, this is peak coffee shop.

He could even double down and make Breaking Bad references around the shop, since thats what this makes me think of.

I'm guessing it's not in Florida, or I would ask you for the address. He should at least get a window into that backroom installed or something to that effect.
Is this tandem OLED display a first? I'm familiar with stacked LCD displays, they've been around for a while though mainly in reference monitors due to their inefficiency, but this is the first I've heard of anyone stacking two OLEDs on top of each other.
If the US was real serious about EV adoption, they would stop subsidizing the Oil Industry and add a 3 USD tax to Gas. Then you will see people move quickly to EV or mass transit.

Instead all this is is "fund (bribe) raising" for the two main US parties. It depends upon is who wants to pay more to congress people.

FWIW, right now the GOP are experts at this game when it comes to energy. But the other party has their bribe pipeline too for other industries.
Mac version is $300 one time purchase. iPad version is $5 a month or $50 annually.
We first consider using some lossless compression algorithms, but since we are just encoding meta strings such as classname/fieldname/packagename/path. There doesn't have much duplciation pattern to detect, the compression won't have a very good effect. If we are encoding generic string, such compression algorithms such astd/deflate will be better, but that's not the case here. This is why we name it as meta string
> There are economists scratching their head right now wondering why the recent rate hikes have not resulted in lower prices in some areas

House prices were not stagnant before, they were rising YoY and higher interest rates might just slower the rise but not revert it due to the existing pressures which probably have a much larger impact than the interest rate at the moment.
First, only CPU power consumption is reduced, not other components, second, I doubt tablets contribute significantly to global power consumption, so I think no power plants will be turned off.
imaging a device so powerful as this new ipad, yet so useless. it baffles me that we have this great hardware only the software bit is lacking
There are tools like ISH that lets you compile code. The application situation will definitely improve, not only in the EU, but as seen with the Delta Emulator.
Hey Josh, Sensei looks like a great company. I just sent in my application, looking forward to talking more!
Desired.

And honestly, I can't think of alternatives other than maybe less powered iPad SKUs.

If you aren't technically minded, Least Privileged Access to your computing platform is for the best, because remediating security incidents is hard.
I don't think it's strictly for price gouging/segmentation purposes.

On the Macbooks (running MacOS), RAM has been used as data cache to speed up data read/write performance until the actual SSD storage operation completes. It makes sense for Apple to account for with higher RAM spec for the 1TB/2TB configurations.
DARPA is testing this autonomous tank with glowing "eyes"
Well, choice to consume, but nothing more. I was living in a big dense EU city, after others big&dense, now I'm living in the French Alps, at a short-range from the see, but high enough to have good climate, nature, still having services not like in a big city, but still enough, including good enough FTTH, roads, grocery with drive services and so on. Before?

Well, before I can choose restaurants from all over the world, some fitness centers, some events, always and only services to consume and no real personal activity. Traffic congestion, lack of space and so on complete the game. no, thanks.

In social terms my social life here with FAR LESS people around is IMPROVED because being less we are more social, we meet much more with different people instead of being in bubble if friends, very isolated from all others humans around. Surely mean cultural level is far lower, but due to the general cultural degradation these days to find interesting people for interesting dialogues internet is the sole means, we are too rarefied to meet IRL casually.

Schools? Here every school have large green space and plenty of outdoor activities, yes not at walking distance but who care? Primary schools are normally in 30km radius on good roads, high schools are more rare, but not that far away and if young start to going out of home to study is a good thing for them. Universities became a bit more costly since you must be around them but again it's not that special.

Cities IMO are SOLD to be efficient, and they are definitively not. Starting from the office model where you have a place to live, almost unused during the day, and a place to work almost only used during the day, and we build such mid/high rise buildings to use them only a bit less than half a day, wasting time for commuting, how efficient.... Oh, sure, to farm humans is efficient, to live farmed inside definitively not.

P.a. actually work ONLY for self-consumption because on scale sharing energy is a nightmare for the grid, we do not have superconductive links, sharing means sharing locally, so have a locally very unstable demand for big power plants, the worst scenario for network stability, they can't keep the frequency with significant p.v. on grid. Instead IF we focus on self-consumption p.v. offer options to heat large quantity of water to have them in the night, when needed, to have geothermic heat pumps, heating the ground in summer to balance the heat get in the winter and so on.

BTW cities can't exists without much highways: there anyone eat, and the food came from outside.
drawio for diagrams
For a large number of Americans, their house is a MASSIVE portion of their total wealth. They likely plan to leverage that into retirement (sell and downsize/move out of the city) and/or leave it to their heirs.

Should housing be viewed as an investment in this way? Possibly not, but between various tax incentives and restrictions on supply, that's what we've decided we want (as a society, for better or worse).
The mini is critical for aviation.
I was being sarcastic. The suggestion above that the privacy of an IP address could be "guaranteed by cryptography" is silly. Cryptography is not a hammer that can be used for all problems. At some point you have to transmit your IP over the internet if you want a reply.
In the USA there is a lack of inventory due to those people who locked in 30 year fixed rates in the 2-3% range. Those folk might want to move but they're not moving when rates are currently 7%+. The supply won't improve until rates come under 5%.
that's still amazing, to me.

I don't expect an M4 macbook to last any longer than an M2 macbook of otherwise similar specs; they will spend that extra power budget on things other than the battery life specification.
Sounds like the ideal use case for an AI assistant. Siri ought to tell you how to access hidden features on the device. iOS, assist thyself.
If I’m going to have to fix their system so that it doesn’t spy on me, I’d rather pass the hassle back to them and make them deal with it. If I fix it myself there’s no downside for them in turning it on in the first place.
Condition Zero and Source released in 2004. Global Offensive released in 2012, eight years later. Counterstrike 2 released in September 2023, eleven years later. Counterstrike isn't the game to point to for re-releasing the same thing over and over.
A mortgage is a huge loan that uses your house as collateral, you can't get a capital infusion of that size and interest rate otherwise. If you use that loan to purchase a house that appreciates at more than the interest rate you come out ahead, sometimes absurdly so if you buy in the right area.

Additionally your housing costs are fixed. It's not ALWAYS a winner, but it's the primary source of wealth for most people for a reason, especially in the regions that won the globalization game in america (Urban ones).
You can’t have all that power in a 7” tablet because the battery will last half hour.
If these things will ever get MacOS support it will be useless with 8 GB of Ram.

Such a waste of nice components.

I have an M1 iPad Pro too and use it heavily for Logic Pro and occasionally for video editing in Final Cut and Luma. Neither of those things is consumption, and it absolutely flies at both. I suspect OP is somewhat in a bubble.
> This is not correct. First, there is no concept of "energy conservation" that applies to the universe as a whole the way you describe.

If the concept of energy conservation does not apply to the entire Universe, then we must ask where the additional energy created comes from or is removed. I'm not aware of evidence to suggest that it is not conserved. If there was something like this, it seems like something that could be exploited.

> Second, our best current model of the universe, based on the equations of General Relativity, says it will keep expanding forever.

I'm aware that's what is currently supported, but the collapsing Universe followed by the expanding Universe loop ties everything up nicely (cyclic model [1]).

I'm also aware that this is essentially based on the second law of thermodynamics [2], but I think as long as all processes a system undergoes are fully reversible, it should in theory be able to reverse. It would be like observing a binary counter: 0000 is the start, then we observe numbers like 0110 and 1011 and say "see, entropy is increasing indefinitely", but eventually we tick over to 1111, then 0000.

Of course if any system variable changes irreversibly (i.e. space expands infinitely), then it would not work. But given there is ongoing debate about the Hubble constant [3] and I think there is still room to believe a cyclic model could be plausible.

You're in the minority
I'd love a new OLED mini. I use mine heavily every day. It's big enough that the screen is much more comfortable to my aging eyes than my phone. But it's small enough that I can fit it in my pockets and take it everywhere. In terms of pure form factor, the iPad Mini is probably my favorite computing device. My dream machine would be an Mini which ran MacOS. I know Apple will never make that, but dreams are free.

There probably will be an update to the Mini later this year. Probably not a huge update if the rumors are correct.
I imagined myself as a solitary person, but at peace with myself. She is doing something, like having a cold beer, and another person who is also nearby, doing the same, joins her to exchange ideas. I found this idea interesting because friendships are often formed in moments like this that many times were not planned beforehand.
Honest question: What data do you store on an iPad Air? On a phone you might have some photos and videos but isn't a tablet just a media consumption device? Especially on iOS where they try to hide the filesystem as much as possible.
I've been buying Sonsodyne with Novamin for that exact reason (read on the reddit too) however, after 1 year of use, I see exactly 0 results. I don't think it does anything when used as a part of toothpaste, looks like it needs completely different delivery method.
I'm a free customer and I am always annoyed by ads in my inbox about other services provided by Proton. I signed up for an email box, I don't care about Proton Drive nor ProtonVPN. I chose Proton specifically because it supposedly had less or no ads at all, but it seems like Gmail continues to be the better choice.
Going through life without having read through at least some of the KJV Bible and Shakespeare would be like watching The Wizard of Oz in black and white – sure, you'd be able to follow the plot, but you'd be missing out on the color experience. Similarly, without having some foundation in those two foundational works of English language, you'd be missing idiom, metaphor, and allegory that you might not even realize is there. Imagine trying to read President Lincoln's speeches without getting his references to scripture. Imagine trying to read Faulkner's Sound and the Fury without getting the titular reference to Shakespeare and the structural reference to the Gospels (the same story told by four different authors).
> I think a comparison to the 4090 is unfair

No, when using wording like "outrageously powerful", that's exactly the comparison you elicit.

I'd be fine with "best in class" or even "unbeatable performance per Watt", but I can absolutely guarantee you that an iPad does not outperform any current popular-with-the-ML-crowd GPUs...
For iPad alone there are 6 iPad versions now. And 4 Apple Pencils.

It's already on Performa level.

Similar things happen to iPhone (4 overlapping nearly identical models every year for a total of 7 currently being sold) and Macbooks (any number of models any given year, they are currently selling 5)
I've actually worked at a high enough level in the games industry to know about the non-public dynamics, and that includes working with some of the people involved in this story.

> Hardware has always been a loss leader used to sell games, nothing more. If they can sell the games just as well on their “competitiors platforms” then why bother spending time and exorbitant amounts of money building your own hardware?

By this logic Sony and Nintendo are completely wasting their time making hardware, yet they persist in doing so. Does this make them bad at business?
Elden ring was the shitty mainstream version of dark souls. The open world was just a big forgettable grind of annoying mini dungeons that you probably had to look up and then didn’t enjoy, collectible items that you were never going to use 95% of the time, shitty quests that were difficult to engage in without external guides, and powerful buffs that were very useful but guarded by enemies that don’t scale; leading most players to follow the main quest to the first boss and then just run around the entire map exploring for the warp points/permanent buffs ignoring every enemy possible and then basically forgetting it was an open world game and just hitting the highlights.

The memorable parts of the game are the bosses which are generally cool but very gimmicky, and the legacy dungeons. Which is… the dark souls bits. The open world was stinky garbage that made the game much worse.
Biggest difference is aspect ratio. Phones are taller and less pleasant to use in landscape, tablets are more square and better to use in landscape.

You could technically make a more square phone but it wouldn’t be fun to hold in common positions, like up to your ear for a call.
The gyroscope and haptic feedback in the apple pencil pro seem pretty cool for artists and other creative uses!
